All right so I am going to be buying a Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 Strix Graphics Card (4GB, GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0),
the question is I currently have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 4GB will there be any kind of conflict if I operate with both?

You wont be able to operate a 970 with a 760 im afraid you need to get cards in the same family, and series. So to use SLI you'd need 2 970's running at same clocks etc.
The card on its own is absolute beast of a card, and can run pretty much anything high end settings.

That's partly true. In order to run 2 or more cards simultainiously you need them to be using the same chipset (in this case both would be 970) and they need to have the same amount of VRAM, their clock speeds and such don't matter at all to run SLI (still running both cards at the same clock speed may improve stability).
Sell that 760, you may find that cash usefull for yourself.

All right thanks.
Can be locked.

You can operate both, just not in SLI. (Read; it won't be anything like SLI)
One GPU can handle PhysX for example, but that's highly unnecessary and will most likely need more setting up than one is willing to do.
As Brian said, sell the old GPU (unless you want to keep a backup, which is good to have) ;)

Ok thanks, I'll just get a 970, maybe two and sell my old one.

Locked as requested.
